For evidence of this, spend time with trees
When you question your fragile life, spend time in the forest. Be amazed by the strength, beauty and longevity of the tall, great trees, while also noticing the saplings; meager, thin branched characters who can’t save you, if you reach out for balance or support. What have you become, as you have grown from a spindly youngster to a full-grown adult? I ask myself what I contribute to this world, as the trees form an ecosystem that recycles life, provides shade and donates nutrients indiscriminately.
